Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  There are several areas, fields, and specialties of legal practice. Elder Law is a particular specialty focused on planning for the care and protection of the elderly. It is a branching term used to cover several subsets of legal practice: the creation of a will, estate planning, the legal management of benefits & annuities (as well as their appropriate protections), and more.
• Wills
  Despite its name, a living will does not have anything to do with distributing someone’s property. Rather, it gives someone the chance to state clear, legally enforceable directions about what types of life-prolonging procedures, if any, should be used if the living will creator is incapacitated and has no chance of recovery. Our firm discusses these sensitive issues in a comfortable, professional manner and prepares authoritative documents to address these matters as well as other instances where you might wish to designate a healthcare surrogate to handle your medical treatment choices.
